Please don't make the same mistake I made,Super BrilliantBiology
Please don't make the same mistake I made, and stay away from this university. UF has been filled with a lot of hype, but it has no substance to back it up. Growing up, my family always talked about how great it is to be a Florida Gator, but I still haven't figured out what is so great about it. I guess I'll give UF a chance to grow on me, but so far I am not impressed. I should've listened to my sister's advice to attend Florida State. Oh well, to little to late.

Question
UF SUCKS! I wish I had never attended.Quite BrightAthletics/Training
UF SUCKS! I wish I had never attended. The whole town has no life of its own so it turns to UF. The front page of Gainesville Sun always has to do with UF. There was an article today about how one of the football players had a cold and missed practice. I'm dead serious. I absolutely love football, but seriously? There is nothing to do here. Professors are inaccessible and rarely teach. Classes are HUGE!!!! REDNECKS RULE TO SCHOOL. Ugly old campus. School population is far too big with 50,000 students. The University handles this poorly, often not being able to get into desired classes and administration is not helpful at all. UF will lay off the best professors easily with no warning and pays the football coach $1 million/ yr, making him the 3rd (I think) highest paid college football coach. I WISH I WOULD HAVE WENT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI!!!! I have friends there who absolutely love it and it sounds amazing. Even one of our basketball stars is transferring there. His UF coach told him he should spend more time focusing on his game and less time on the books. Guess What? He is The SEC Scholar Athlete of the year. I'm gonna try to transfer to UMiami, I don't care how much more it costs, or even the debt I'm gonna have, these are supposed to be the best years of your life and Miami sounds like the full college experience while UF is not.

Everybody is obsessed withQuite BrightArchitecture
Everybody is obsessed with Gator football. After a few weeks, it really gets on your nerves. Also, greek life is huge. Everybody gets drunk. I would not go here unless you are intrested in those (I'm not)
